According to information kindly provided by an OTBKB reader: the condition of Kate, the daughter of the owner of the Third Street condo where there was a serious fire early Wednesday morning, is improving at Methodist Hospital. Michael, the father, is undergoing therapy in a barimetric chamber.
A barimetric chamber is a high-pressure atmosphere primarily used for medical therapy so that you can breathe air or oxygen up to three times the normal pressure, which helps to increase the oxygen level in tissues. This is
used treat carbon monoxide poisoning.
Our thoughts and best wishes go out to Michael, Kate and all the families that were displaced by the fire.
